and qualify mankind to be arbitrators. and
| the education of children in peace principles
| is essential to this reform.
3. That we heartily applaud the efforts of

bltratlon and for congress of American re-
publics, and we urge their adoption at the
next session and the political parties of the

nal of arbitration signed by nearly two hum
dred members of Parliament and we are
grateful to our friends abroad for their active
cooperation in circulating our peace address
in Europe and for their plans for inter-
national treaties of peace. and we extend to
kindred societies in America our high appre-

the peace with the Indian race.
g. That the constitutional centennial COM
mission is committing a grave error in
pandering to the military spirit by
urging the attendance of military in

by abolishing the clauses and for recon-
mending measures for national and interna- | .
tional arbitration.
